888 Poker
Formally known as Pacific Poker, 888poker was a main player in the online poker industry until the UIEGA came into effect in the United States, cutting them off from that market. However, they came back strong with a new client with a strong emphasis in making first time players feel comfortable.

Tournaments
888 Poker has put a lot of thought into their tournament schedule. Each day has a new "daily challenge" tournament with large guaranteed prize pools, with feeder satellites running constantly so all levels of players can get a shot. If live tournament satellites are your game, 888 Poker will no doubt also impress. Another popular choice has been their Double Up or Nothing sit&go's that can be great bankroll boosters for solid players.
Client
888poker's new overhaul on their client was released with rave reviews. Players can now use quick-reference creature tags on their opponents so you'll always remember their play styles. Keyboard shortcuts are also extremely handy for mouse-free play. The graphics are now vibrant with 3D avatars and the lobby is very easy to navigate. New players will especially like the carefully thought out details that make navigating the client a breeze. The client is also very computer resource-friendly and can easily support up to 16 tables at a time.
Traffic
Despite losing the American market, 888poker still ranks in the top 10 in terms of traffic. The site is still very popular in Europe and can easily see 10,000 players during peak hours.
Play types
888poker offers a decent variety of games including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo.
Bonus
All new players will receive a 100% bonus, up to $400. You will have 90 days to complete your bonus and each 100 points you earn will pay out a $10 installment.
Service
888poker lacks a live chat option but they have an extensive FAQ section and e-mail support is available 24/7.
